Burnaby Now did a spotlight on Burnaby Pride’s plan for their 2021 Pride event. CAN’s (LET’S’) Executive Director is Co-Chair of Burnaby Pride and spoke about how they are excited that Burnaby Pride will keep some online access post-pandemic for accessibility.
From article:
o their eternal credit, Burnaby Pride 2020 was a great success. Four and a half hours of live and pre-recorded programming were broadcast on Facebook and YouTube, and attracted “a larger audience than we’d anticipated,” says fellow co-chair and accessibility consultant Heather McCain (they/them).
“We had comments open, so we were hearing in real time from people who were watching,” says McCain. “It was awesome. We really appreciated how different parts of the event spoke to different people, and when they saw someone of the same identity, how proud they were to see that representation.””
